Answer 4

Totally agree with the first answer !

Addition: S'pore is a very fair country. If you work hard you have $, if you don't work, you have nothing. No social benefits. You need to take care of your own life (+ your parents + children's lives) until you die.

Answer 5

Stay in India.  I heard that India is way cleaner than China.    

Answer 6

Singapore is a good place to settle for the rich.

Typical middle-income S'porean life:

-Go to school, waste 2yrs in military (2.5yrs in my case)

-Go to school some more, cos can't get job w/o degree.

-Get a job, get married, buy a house. (Fall into mortgage trap)

-Work your *** off to pay off mortgage, have children, buy a car(over-priced)

-Retire only to realise that they have changed the CPF payout system, yet again.

-65yrs old, go work in McD's or mop the floor at the airport or clear tables at foodcourt for S$5.50/hr.

-S$2000 in bank on the day you die... if you're lucky.

"Retirement" for low & middle class S'poreans is a myth. And soon S'poreans might even start to see the "working poor" phenomenon & diminishing middle class which is happening in USA & Japan.

Answer 7

.If you are bringing your india bad habit and bad culture, don't come.

If you speak good english without twisting and come with at least $1mil. we welcome you.

Answer 8

if you are coming then where should the singaporean be going? going to india?

Answer 9

singapore is a lousy place to live. why would u want to live with chinese people? they are dirty and uneducated. u will have no freedom of speech, press or voice. why would u want to live on a tiny island where u can die in a tsunami at any time?
